To tell you the truth, the last HS math I took in full was geometry. I had a quick refresher in College Algebra and now I'm in a calculus course. I follow the calc fine so long as the stuff I skipped isn't brought up. I can follow general principles, but I have alot of holes in my background. I'm working to fix them, but failing this hw won't help me do that :/

I -really- want to learn everything I've missed and excel in math, but with nothing to really work with, hard to find help, and lack of proper examples, I can not figure this stuff out.

I know this stuff isn't difficult, but without knowing all the rules, that doesn't matter...
